Linked from https://www.w3.org/2021/10/TPAC/#participation ------------------------------------------ Call for TPAC 2021 Breakout sessions ------------------------------------------ The week of October 18 will be dedicated to a distributed unconference as part of TPAC, with a series of 1-hour breakouts whose topics are defined by TPAC participants. We invite the W3C community to suggest breakout sessions before October 8 via the wiki: https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2021/SessionIdeas <https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2021/SessionIdeas> Chairs, please encourage your groups and communities to contribute their ideas to the wiki as early as possible; since this year again, the breakouts are virtual, participants will benefit from early scheduling of the sessions. We plan on releasing a first schedule on October 11. A few last minute breakout proposals can be added until October 15 at the latest, but please note that these proposals will have less flexibility in their scheduling. In addition to the usual breakout discussions organized for the traditional TPAC community (IG/WG/BG participants, selected CG participants, W3C member representatives), and building on the "public breakout" program from last year, this year again, breakout proposals can opt-in to make their breakouts open to anyone (TPAC participant or not) to attend. Building on the successful externally-organized breakouts from last year [1], we are also aiming to get more of these to bring more diverse voices into the W3C community - please contact Dominique Hazaël-Massieux, W3C Developer Relations Lead (dom@w3.org <mailto:dom@w3.org?Subject=Re%3A%20Call%20for%20TPAC%202021%20Breakout%20sessions&In-Reply-To=%3Cc73b4ffd-29e0-52be-219c-3fea935c5cbc%40w3.org%3E&References=%3Cc73b4ffd-29e0-52be-219c-3fea935c5cbc%40w3.org%3E>) if there are communities you know of we should reach out to as part of that program. These externally-organized breakouts can be financially supported by the TPAC Fellow program [2]. And to ensure these new voices feel as included and welcomed as possible, we are also offering a strengthened training program for volunteer W3C meeting facilitators: https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2021/SessionIdeas#Breakout_facilitator_training <https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2021/SessionIdeas#Breakout_facilitator_training> ------------------------------------------ Should you need any assistance, please contactw3t-tpregister@w3.org We look forward to seeing you virtually!
